Van Halen покидает лейбл

В прошлом номере мы уже сообщали об уходе Van Halen от звукозаписывающей компании Warner Brothers, а сейчас мы сможем взглянуть на развитие событий более подробно.

После двух десятилетий успешного сотрудничества Van Halen расстались со своей звукозаписывающей компанией Warner Brothers. И хотя группа планирует продолжать свою творческую деятельность в том или ином виде, отдельные участники подумывают о возможности объединения сил в супергруппу из пяти человек!

Дэвид Ли Рот судится

Знаменитый рок-вокалист Дэвид Ли Рот (David Lee Roth) подал в суд на своих бывших товарищей по Van Halen и на звукозаписывающую компанию Warner Bros. Records, обвиняя их невыплате ему положенных по контракту премиальных.По словам адвоката певца, в 1996-м году Van Halen и Warner Bros. Records заключили соглашение на переиздание ранних альбомов команды, не уведомив об этом Дэвида. Рот уверен, что это было сделано сознательно, с целью лишить его положенных по закону 25% премиальных.Дэйв подсчитал, что на конец 2001-го года сумма, которую ему должны были выплатить, составила около 200 тысяч долларов плюс проценты, размер которых должен будет определить Калифорнийский Верховный Суд.Напомним, что Рот был вокалистом Van Halen на протяжении восьми лет, вплоть до 1985-го года, когда он начал свою сольную карьеру.

Sammy Hagar & The Waboritas, DVD “Cabo Wabo Birthday Bash Tour”

Sammy Hagar & The Waboritas, DVD “Cabo Wabo Birthday Bash Tour”
Классические американские рок-группы слишком активно выступали в Британии, и поэтому там долгое время недоставало собственных качественных команд. А Сэмми Хэгэр, когда-то завсегдатай Hammersmith Odeon, в последний раз приезжал туда вместе с Van Halen.
Покинув VH пять лет назад, Хэгэр стал заниматься всем тем, что приходилось ему по душе. Преимущественно это сводилось к распитию текилы в его Cabo Wabo Cantina, но иногда он выпускал замечательные хард-роковые альбомы.

DVD начинается с того, как Хэгэр учит нас правильно готовить коктейли, и представляет собой два часа самого замечательного рок-материала. Тут вам и “Rock Candy” времен Montrose, и его собственная ранняя классика, и вещи Van Halen, и некоторые композиции пост-халеновского периода, исполнение со свойственными Хэгэру грубостью и шармом. Очень жаль, что наяву мы всего этого никогда уже не увидим.

Джерри Эвинг, журнал Classic Rock,

Несколько слов от создателя сайта: Видел сие действо, прикупил DVD-шник на Горбушке. Всем, кто не видел, рекомендую посмотреть, не пожалеете. 100% драйв!!! DVD двойной, на втором диске интервью Сэмми (для тех, кто владеет английским он будет очень интересен), а так же видеоматериал о праздновании Дня варенья Сэмми в Cabo Wabo Cantina.

Основатель рок-группы Van Halen, гитарист-виртуоз Eddie Van Halen серьезно болен раком.

Стало известно, что основатель рок-группы Van Halen, гитарист-виртуоз Eddie Van Halen серьезно болен раком. Сообщение было опубликовано на официальном сайте группы после многочисленных спекуляций о здоровье музыканта. Хотя в обращении к фанатам и не говорится какой именно орган подвержен болезни, обозреватели подозревают, что скорее всего речь идет о раке горла. На протяжении 12 месяцев Эдди проходит курс лечения в центре раковых заболеваний в Хьюстоне, штат Техас, и, согласно заявлению, врачи дают музыканту оптимистические прогнозы.

46-летний гитарист Эдди Ван Хален / Eddie Van Halen

после успешного прохождения курса антиракового лечения, сообщил на встрече с журналистами, что «чувствует себя прекрасно».

Кроме этого, он севершенно ничего не может сообщить о будущем своей группы. После продолжительной работы в студии группа имеет материал на 2-3 альбома. Часть материала написана с первым вокалистом Van Halen, Дэвидом Ли Ротом (David Lee Roth), с возвращением которого в родные пенаты группа связывает творческое и финансовое будущее, изрядно пошатнувшееся после выхода альбома с бывшим вокалистом Extreme Гари Чероне (Gary Cherone). Однако, после совместной встречи юристов обеих сторон, все планы «кажется разрушились». Читать далее «46-летний гитарист Эдди Ван Хален / Eddie Van Halen»

Without You
Hey you, wake up, get yourself together

While your back is turned
Look too long and I can’t help you
So clear your head, find a way home
Better make up your mind

Then you say you won’t
Well I’m just trying to figure
Try and figure you out

From Afar
If I cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside

If I cannot hear you from afar
Whisper in my ear, rest assured that
You are near

And I know not what it’s like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
Just to love you
From afar

If I cannot kiss you from afar
Press against your lips, taste the sweetness
Of your breath

If I cannot touch you from afar
Hold you in my arms, keep you warm and
Safe from harm

Though our circumstances
Cause separation
In the absence, there’s a presence in my heart
I will surrender, I’ll surrender to my
Quiet contemplation
My quiet contemplation
I’ll just, I’ll just love you
From afar

There must be a better way (ooo-oooh)
A better way (ooo-oooh) of, of passing the time
I can’t seem to get her out
Out of my
Get her out of my mind

(Guitar Solo)

I don’t know what it’s like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination

Just to love you
Just to love you
Just to love you
Yeah!

Dirty Water Dog
No candidate would I support
His platform could I endorse
Another accomplice slinging dirt
Campaign promises falling short
I don’t belong to any race
Pledge allegiance to a place
No borderline in the sand I’d trace
I’m just a sucker for a pretty face

Uncomfortable in the realm of the political
Position’s always been a little left of cynical
I’m fundamentally for the individual
Preoccupied purely with the physical

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a hound dog chasing a bird
Sometimes a certain tom’s gotta peep
I’m a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

I don’t wanna find religion
Or another man’s opinion
I Can’t choose what’s not my decision
When there’s only one under the sun
There’s no need to be denied
Chew before swallowing pride
I want to live so let me die
Oh by the way, what’s your sign?

Can’t comprehend the meaning of the metaphysical
I’d rather leave that to your so-called intellectual
But what I do know I know feels only natural
I’m just a red-blooded heterosexual

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin’ a bird
Sometimes a certain tom’s he gotta peep
I’m a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

(Guitar Solo)

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin’ a bird
Sometimes a certain tom’s he gotta peep
I’m a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, like a hound dog, chasin’ a bird

And I think I like
A dirty water dog
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

Once
Once embraced, can’t ever be let go
Once revealed, can’t ever be not shown
Once believed, can’t ever lose faith
Once shared, can’t ever be separate
Once sown, once can’t ever be not reaped

Like the dawn of a brand new day
With the power of deity
Well, I can feel it inside of me
Feel it. Can you feel it?

Once born, can’t ever be not conceived
Once present, can’t ever be past
Once first, once can’t ever be not everlast

Returning home of the prodigal
Holding the intangible
To believe in a miracle
Believe it. Can you believe it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-oh-oh, can you tell me?

Once seen, can’t ever lose sight
Once dawn, can’t ever be not light
Once, once felt, once felt
Can’t ever be untouched

The assurance only hope can bring
With the conviction of the unseen
See it’s greater than everything
See it, oh can you see it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh really, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-ooh-oh oh, can you tell me?
Have you ever really touched love once?

(Guitar Solo)

(Oh!)

Oh! Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh-oh really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
I don’t know. Did you tell me?
Have you ever really touched
Once. Whoa-oh really, really touched?

Could it ever be too much?
Oh-ooh somebody tell me
Have you ever really touched
Love once?

Ah, have you ever really touched
Love once?
Have you ever really touched love
Touched love?
Woooo-ooooo
Woooo-ooooo
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo-oooo
Oh, love once. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Fire In the Hole
In a word to the wisdom tooth
To tell, or not the truth (yeah)
So open up and say ahh-men
Rinse cup, and spit again

Forked tongue in double speak
Pretty soon you just might
Spring a leak
Inhale before you begin
Your iron lung’s a bag of wind

There’s a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole
There’s a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
Fire

Sweet ‘n’ sour, filiblister
Faucet pouring, fresh ‘n’ bitter
Come on smile and say cheese
On a count of three
Ya got a mindful of decavities
Hey!

Chew your words, lest you choke
You better watch your mouth
Wash it out with soap. Yeah!
Tongue tied in a tangled web
Your bile inside better left unsaid

There’s a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
There’s a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
Fire!
Ah, shoot it!

(Guitar Solo)

Hey-hey-yeah!
Huh!
Yeah!
Hey-hey-yeah!

(hey hey hey hey hey)
There’s a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
There’s a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)

There’s a fire, fire, fire
A fire!

Rudder of ship, which sets the course
Does not the bit, bridle the horse
Great is the forest, set by a small flame
Like a tongue on fire, no one can tame

Josephina
Josephina, there’s so much I want to know
I’ve known you for all of mine
But not all of yours
You’re not a stranger
No, nothing could be further
I look back and I wonder
What you were like, long before

Josephina, if I asked you, would you tell me?
The fact from the fancy
And the dreams in between
Tell me a story
All about yours truly
Photographs from the past
Imagine the mystery

Didja get your head lost in a daydream?
Cinderella, waiting for her charming
Did ya break a heart, like little girls often do?
Pigtails and painted toes
All dressed up in your mother’s clothes
Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?
Oh, please can you shine some light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow

Josephina, would you lay down your defenses?
So i can make sense of
Those colors fading to grey
It’s not that you’re hiding
Something, I’d never imply
Yesteryear I may be gone
Can’t say the same for today

Yeah, Josephina!

(Guitar Solo)

Ah, Josephina!

How else am I to know, that all the while
There was a mischievous look, behind that smile?
It’s hard to tell, when innocence comes and goes
I’m sure that there were times, life could be unkind
Without a shoulder to cry on
Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?
Yeah, please can you shine some light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow

(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)

Year To the Day
I woke up to yet another day
Grown to expect, expect more of the same
Except for, for a subtle change
And that is, I’m slowly fading away

Harvest moon, soon will pass
Crop is gone, left only chaff
A bitter pill, and an overcast
A flag unfurled, at half mast
Ahhhhh…

A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I’m here standing still
Yeah! With more time to kill
Hey! I barely survived
Yeah, I barely survived

Like pouring salt on an open wound
Memory filling, filling this empty room
I’m as bare, I’m as bare, as a barren womb
Still like the air, in a whitewash tomb
Ahhhhh…

A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I’m here standing still
Hey! With more time to kill
I barely survived
Yes, I barely survived

(Guitar Solo)

Ahhhhh…

A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I’m here standing still
Been standin’ still. With more time to kill
Hey! I barely survived
I barely survived

A year to the day!
Year to the day!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
A year to the day!
Three sixty-five!
Three sixty-five, five, fiiive!
Ahhhhh…

Primary (Instrumental)

Ballot Or the Bullet
Give me liberty or give me death
No truer words have ever been said
Well are you prepared for your very last breath?
Don’t you dare start what you cannot finish

So when we face, face the adversary
No longer are we the minority

And when history repeats her hour
The pendulum will swing, swing into power
Though not in vain like our forefathers
Freedom, never had no room for cowards

For in the end, there will be equality
By any means necessary

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand

What’s it gonna take to liberate?
An emancipation, a false proclamation?
All these token words that you legislate
Sound a little bit absurd. Hey! And a little too late

When a house is divided, it just will not stand
Once it’s decided, a line drawn in the sand

Ah! The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand

(Guitar Solo)

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
held, held by the same hand!

How Many Say I
Are you ever so silent, when she wanted to talk?
Or couldn’t keep quiet, when she needed a hug
Come on too strong, when a little’s too much
How many, how many, say I

Go on and say yes, and really mean no
Would you rather guess, when you just don’t know
And then say I love you, but aren’t willing to show
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I

How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I

Say live and let live, so quick to judge
Slow to forgive, when you’re holding a grudge
Don’t always believe, all you need is love
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I

How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I

(String Solo)

Have you ever looked down when the homeless walked by?
Or changed the channel when you saw a hungry child?
Know something to be true, then deny it
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I

How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I

Runnin’ With The Devil
I live my life like there’s no tomorrow
And all I’ve got I had to steal
Least I don’t need to beg or borrow
Yes I’m living at a pace that kills
Runnin’ with the devil
Runnin’ with the devil
I found the simple life ain’t so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you’d call real
Ain’t got nobody waiting at home
Runnin’ with the devil
Runnin’ with the devil
You know I, I found the simple life, weren’t so simple, no
When I jumped out on that road
Got no love, no love you’d call real
Got nobody waiting at home
Runnin’ with the devil
Runnin’ with the devil
Runnin’ with the devil

Little Dreamer
They may talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold and baby didn’t that
Change with a wink of your eye
Now no one’s talkin’ ’bout those
Crazy days gone by
No one talks about the
Times you cried
(Oooh) Little dreamer

And then they voted you
Least likely to succeed
I hadda tell them baby, you were armed with
All you’d need

Crazy days gone past
Weren’t they amazed when you were
Really last
(Oooh) You are the little dreamer
(Oooh) Little dreamer, oh yeah, oh

You’re No Good
Well, I’m feelin’ better now that we’re through.
Feelin’ better, baby, I’m over you.
I learned my lesson, baby.
And it left a scar.
But now I see how you really are.
You’re no good, no good.
Baby, you’re no good.
No good, no good, no good.
Baby, you’re no good.
I broke a heart, simple and true.
Broke a heart for someone like you.
We’ll be coming back. Don’t come running to me.
I wanna love you, maybe set you free.
You’re no good, no good, no good.
Baby, you’re no good.
You’re no good, no good, no good.
Baby, you’re no good.
(Used to be, I couldn’t sleep at night, baby
Now, you go on. Do what you want to.)

Dance The Night Away
Have you seen her?
So fine and pretty. Fooled me with her style and ease.
And I feel her from across the room.
Yes, it’s love in the third degree.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won’tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Come on, take a chance.
You’re old enough to dance the night away.
Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.
A live wire.
Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go.
She’s on fire, ’cause dancing gets her higher than anything else she knows.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won’tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Well, don’t skip romance, ’cause you’re old enough to dance the night away.

Bottoms Up!
I’ve been sitting here ’bout half the night.

Stare at disbelief in me when I just up and walk outta love (outta love) again, (outta love) once again.
Ooh, lovin’ and a livin’ and a treat me like a fool.

You’re doin’ all you can to make me sad and blue.

Stare at disbelief in me when I just up and walk outta love (outta love) again, (outta love) once again. A-g-g-g-g-gain.

Light Up The Sky
Yeah, we’re all fast breakers comin’ out of the gates takin’ chances. We’re the crash and burn.
Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave a love cross the line where none return.
I watch my television; almost lost my mind.
It said, «Open your eyes. Leave it all behind.»
I heard the wind a whisp’rin’, strong magic comin’ on!
They comin’ out for sure.
Come see your children; yeah, they’re lighting up the skies.
Won’t recognize them any more.
Ooh, mama, see the firelight.
Ooh, we’re comin’ out tonight.
Wolves at my door wised up quick.
Turn here and gone from on the go.
Seems the old folks who come up short were the pretty little kids who didn’t want it, no.
I had to pay admission when I came tonight.
And it said, «Open my eyes. Leave it all behind.»
I heard the wind a whisp’rin’, strong magic comin’ on!
They comin’ out for sure.
Come see your children; yeah, they’re lighting up the skies.
Won’t recognize them any more.
Ooh, mama, see the firelight.
Ooh, lightin’ up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light ’em up!

Spanish Fly (Instrumental)

D.O.A.
We was broke and hungry on a summer day.
They sent the sheriff down to try and drive us away.
We was sittin’ ducks for the police man.
They found a dirty faced kid in a garbage can.
And I’m alone, I’m on the highway, wanted dead or alive, dead or alive.
Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags a from the day my mama told me, «Boy, you pack your bags.»
Send the mayor down in his pickup truck.
The jury look at me, say, «Outta luck.»
And I’m alone, I’m on the highway, wanted dead or alive, dead or alive.
Now, I’m broken down and dirty, dressed in rags a from the day my mama told me, «Boy, you pack your bags.»
We was sittin’ ducks for the police man.
They found a dirty faced kid in a garbage can.
And I’m alone, I’m on the highway, wanted dead or alive, dead or alive.

Women In Love
My heart, you’re breakin’ my heart.
Girl, you better start thinkin’ somethin’ real.
Seems like loving you is just a crazy dream, but do as you feel.
All these crazy women, one more crazy night.
But one night’s all we’re given, so, baby, leave me alone, or, baby, stay the night.
(oh, women in love)
Oh baby, make up your mind.
(make up your mind)
I know you’re in love, so, baby, make up your mind.
Scream, go on and scream that your love is all you’re knowin’.
But, honey, if you’re needing a woman just as bad as me, you ought to be goin’.
All these crazy women, one more crazy night.
But one night’s all we’re given, so, baby, leave me alone, or, baby, stay the night.
(oh, women in love)
Oh baby, make up your mind.
(make up your mind)
I know you’re in love, so, baby, make up your mind.

Beautiful Girls
She was seaside sittin’, just a smokin’ and a drinkin’ on ringside, on top of the world, oh, yeah.
She had her drink in her hand; she had her toes in the sand and whoa, what a beautiful girl, ah, yeah.
What a sweet talkin’ honey with a little bit of money can turn your head around.
Creatures from the sea with the look to me like she’d like to fool around.
What a snappy little mammy. Gonna keep her pappy happy and accompany me to the ends of the earth, ah, yeah.
Here I am, ain’t no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! Beautiful girls.
Well, I’m a bum in the sun and I’m having fun.
And I know you know I got no special plans.
All the bills are paid. I got it made in the shade, and all I nee, nee, need is the woman.
What a sweet talkin’ honey with a little bit of money can turn your head around.
Creatures from the sea with the looks to me like she’d like to fool around.
Here I am, ain’t no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! Beautiful girls.
Now, I’m a seaside sittin’, just a smokin’ and a drinkin’;
I’m ringside, on top of the world.
I got a drink in my hand; I got my toes in the sand.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Here I am, ain’t no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! Beautiful girls.
Ah, yeah! Beautiful girls.

Fair Warning (1981)

Mean Street
At night I walk this stinkin’ street
Past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces
And I hear that same old talk
And I’m searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
I’m talkin’ some new kicks
Ones like you ain’t never seen
This is home
This is Meanstreet
It’s our home
The only one I know
And we don’t worry ’bout tomorrow
Cause we’re sick of these four walls
Now what’d ya think is nothing
Might be something after all
Now you know this ain’t no through street
The end is dead ahead
The poor folks play for keeps down here
They’re the living dead
Come on down
Down to Meanstreet
They’re dancing now
Out on Meanstreet
It’s always here and now, my friend
It ain’t once upon a time
It’s all over but the shouting
I’ll come and I’ll take what’s mine
We’re searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
Talkin’ some new kicks
Ones like you ain’t never seen
This is home
This is Meanstreet
It’s our home
Only one I know
(This is home) See, a gun is real easy
(This is Meanstreet) In this desperate part of town
(This is home) Turns you from hunted into hunter
(This is Meanstreet) Go and hunt somebody down
(This is home) But hear me now, somebody said «Fair Warning, Lord !»
(This is Meanstreet) Lord, strike that poor boy down

Dirty Movies
Now who’s that babe with the fabulous shadow?
It’s only one scene, but to me it don’t matter
Her movies get down like you won’t find in my hometown
They won’t believe it when they see what they’re seein’
Go see baby now!
Pictures on the silver screen
Greatest thing you’ve ever seen
Now her name is up in lights
Everything turns out all right
Daddy’s little sweetie after some damn rainbow
Got the big deal in the back of a limo
Now showbiz is so thrillin’, the camera rolls she’s willin’
They won’t believe it when they see what they’re seein’
Go see baby now!
Hey, you remember when that girl was prom queen?
Oh wow! Take it off! Take it all off!
Pictures on the silver screen
Greatest thing you’ve ever seen
Now her name is up in lights
Everything turns out all right
Now they believe it, now that they’ve seen it
Go see baby now!
Pictures on the silver screen
Greatest thing you’ve ever seen
Now my baby’s up in lights
Everything turns out all right
Lights! Camera! Action!

Sinner`s Swing!
All right, you sinners, swing!
Danger in the rearview mirror
There’s trouble in the wind
Badness bringing up the rear
The menace’s loose again
She looks so fuckin’ good
So sexy and so frail
Something got the bite on me
I’m goin’ straight to hell
And now we’re wasting time
Same old pickup lines
And you keep trying
Don’t waste time
Come back to your senses, baby
We can come to terms
I can almost taste it
It burns
You’d be sitting pretty
But you try to take the Fifth
Wearin’ out my welcome
Guess I better say my prayers
And now we’re wasting time
Same old pickup lines
And you keep trying
Don’t waste time
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Soon you’ll see my silhouette
Darkenin’ your door
I can almost taste it
I want more
No one’s above suspicion
No one’s got it wired
I’ll eat with my fingers
Want my iron in that fire
And now we’re wasting time
Same old pickup lines
And you keep trying
Don’t waste time
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push
Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Hear About It Later
Ain’t got no money, got no house on the hill
Tell me, honey, will your lovin’ pay my bills?
Neighbors gettin’ crazy ’bout the noise next door
It’s a major violation, carried away for sure
See, I’ve been tried and convicted, it’s winner take all
I want a run for my money, that’s all
I don’t wanna hear about it later
I don’t wanna, baby I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna hear about it later
I don’t wanna, baby I don’t wanna
Yeah, I’m walking, don’t need no ride
No explanation, just wasting time, yeah
I’ve been tried and convicted, it’s winner take all
I want a run for my money, that’s all
I don’t wanna hear about it later
I don’t wanna, baby I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna hear about it later
I don’t wanna, baby I don’t wanna
You can try me at home, if it feels all right
But I ain’t home at night
You can try me at home, if it feels all right
But I ain’t home at night
I don’t wanna, I’ll do what I please
I don’t wanna, I’ll maybe do a look ‘n move
Yeah, don’t look at me baby
Yes, I better take my chances
I, I been dreaming ’bout tomorrow
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna hear about that, no

Unchained
You said
I cannot get there from here, baby
And I don’t care where I’m goin’
Here’s to your thin red line
I’m stepping over
Thought you’d never miss me
‘Til I got a Fat City address
Non-stop talker, what a rocker!
Blue eyed murder in a size 5 dress
Change, nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah you hit the ground running
Change, and nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah you hit the ground running
No, I don’t ask for permission
This is my chance to fly
Maybe enough ain’t enough for you
But it’s my turn to try
Thought you’d never miss me
‘Til I got a Fat City address
Non-stop talker, what a rocker!
Blue-eyed murder in a side-swiped dress
Change, nothing stays the same
Unchained, and ya hit the ground running
Change, and nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running
Change, nothing stays the same
Unchained, and ya hit the ground running
Change, and nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running
Take a look at this!
Hey, man, that suit is you!
You’ll get some leg tonight for sure!
Tell us how you do!
(Come on, Dave, give me a break.)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, one break coming up!
Change, and nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running
Change, and nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running
Change, and nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running
Change, and nothing stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground running

Push Comes To Shove
Does it seem cold in here to you?
What’s there to do tonight, anything?
Give me another cigarette
Is there anything left in that bottle?
Yeah-Give it here
Some people live apart;
They break your heart so damn easy
And then one night in sunny victory
She decides and you agree, she’s leaving
Will you ever be the same?
Will you ever be the same?
That’s when push comes to shove
I believe it was inevitable
That’s when push comes to shove
Could this be the one that got away?
I get the message
Guess I knew it all along
Says you’re a stranger
Here in paradise, you fool
Seems like forty days and forty nights
Since someone used my first name
Including you
Will you ever be the same?
Is this the one that got away?
Now I’m ahead of the game
Driving me insane
It’s a small change
Ooh, I’m just a pushover
Over and over

So This Is Love
Oh, yeah
Check me out on the good side here
Well, my baby’s on the corner and she’s lookin’ so fine
Put one and one together and it blowed my mind
A man needs love to live, I’m the living proof
Catch that smile and I hit the roof
We’d double check but you keep on walking
I’m in love
Once over
I’m overdone
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your lovin’
Come on baby, take me home
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your lovin’
I’m just skin and bones
Goin’ out my way, knowin’ my way around
The grass is never greener and there’s plenty around
All other girls, they’d be put to shame
Over the edge and here I’ll stay
Got me on pins and needles
And she knows she’s mine and ain’t lettin’ go
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your love
Baby, take me home
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your lovin’
I know
Got me on pins and needles
Yes, she knows she’s mine and ain’t lettin’ go
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your love
So this is love?
Ooh, I need your love
Baby, got to have your love
Ooh, I Ooh I need, got to have that love
Baby, baby, still love
So this is love?
So this is love?

Sunday Afternoon In The Park
(instrumental)

One Foot Out The Door
I grabbed that telephone
I thought we were alone
Telling me there’s company
Your husband’s comin’ home
I’ve been thinking about this Saturday night with you
I’ve been thinking about it all week long
And now I’m gonna lose it ’cause that
Son-of-a-bitch got me singin’ that same old song
Got one foot out the door
Tryin’ to hit the road
Ain’t no match for your mean old man
I think it’s time to roll
Got one foot out the door
Got one foot out the door
Think I’m gonna fight him?
Don’t you let him put down
Put that to the floor
Put the pedal to the metal
And you beat it out of town
No comin’ back, back for more
